Terminated unfairly or forced to resign?
Your remedies depend on your contract, your role and the law that applies to your employer. Termination without the required notice, pay in lieu of notice or due process can be challenged — through a legal notice, the labour authorities or the courts. Stronger protections apply if the termination is linked to a POSH complaint or maternity.

FAQ
Terminated unfairly or forced to resign?: common questions
Can I be fired without notice?+
Usually only for proven misconduct after a proper inquiry, or with pay in lieu of notice as your contract provides.
What if I was forced to resign?+
A forced resignation can sometimes be treated as termination. Keep emails and messages as evidence.
Is it free to submit my problem on LawPaw?+
Yes. Telling us your problem and getting a call back from your coordinator is free. You pay only if you decide to go ahead.
What will I have to pay?+
Up to three things, all told to you in writing before you pay: (1) LawPaw's convenience fee for coordinating your matter, (2) the professional's fee, which they quote, and (3) government charges such as court fees or stamp duty, at actual cost. GST applies as per law. There are no hidden charges.
